Our Opportunity: The Cisco Sales Associates Program (CSAP) is one of the most highly coveted early-in-career development programs designed specifically for top university graduates from around the world who aspire to become the next generation of sales leaders at Cisco. This year long program provides world class, hands-on educational and experiential training that will prepare our Associate Sales Representatives (ASR) and Associate Systems Engineers (ASE) to become successful Account Managers and System Engineers in the Cisco Sales Organization. If you are passionate about leading-edge technology, have strong interpersonal skills, thrive on solving problems, and enjoy collaborating in a fun, dynamic and virtual environment with recent university graduates globally, then apply today for an Associate Systems Engineer (ASE) position at Cisco. The ASE role puts you on the fast-track to becoming a Systems Engineer (SE) in the Cisco Sales Organization. CSAP provides our ASEs with the foundational knowledge and skills required to become successful SEs in the field. SEs partner closely with our Account Managers in a pre-sales technical role to showcase Cisco product solutions through demonstrations, explain features and benefits, and design and configure products to meet specific customer needs. SEs are comfortable communicating at multiple levels across functions within Customers, Channel Partners and internal business units. SEs use their expert knowledge to understand customer business requirements, translate them into technical requirements and create integrated solutions that address complex problems with a focus on the Cisco value proposition. SEs also participate in ongoing technical training to maintain professional excellence in today’s highly dynamic IT world. During the first three months of CSAP, ASEs will expand their technical knowledge, business acumen, executive presentation and sales skills in addition to learning about Cisco’s architectures, solutions, products and competitors. ASEs learn using technical case studies, customer simulations, and a blend of instructor-led and self-paced training delivered virtually utilizing Cisco TelePresence, WebEx and video.For the remainder of CSAP, in parallel with certification studies and virtual learning, ASEs will move into an engineering role where they will gain on-the-job experience interacting with customers and will be mentored by Cisco seasoned engineering professionals. They will be assigned to one of our sales support organizations including Technology Solutions Network, Customer Proof of Concept Labs, or Customer Briefing Centers. Customer Proof of Concept Lab (CPOC)In CPOC, ASEs assist account teams and CPOC engineers with their high-revenue, strategic and highly competitive pre-sales opportunities.

The Briefing Centers provide the sales organization with a competitive differentiation by demonstrating Cisco technologies and allowing customers to hear from subject matter experts throughout the world. ASEs will work with a Demonstration Engineer to learn solution and product demonstrations and will give these demonstrations to sales teams and customers visiting the CBC or EBC.Technical Solutions Network (TSN)In TSN, ASEs provide pre-sales support by offloading non-customer facing activities, such as Bill of Materials, Designs, Configurations, Competitive Research, Request for Proposals, and Product Research from the Account Managers and System Engineers. ASEs will continue to develop an in-depth knowledge of the Cisco products, advanced technologies, and network architectures while building a network of sales contacts. After successfully completing the program, ASEs will transition into a Systems Engineering position within the Cisco field sales organization.
